I'm going to fab a bracket to mount it on the spare tire, along with the light.

Rubi you personally have been a big help, so first, thank you. Second, my concern about mounting it on the spare is I personally like the look of the rim exposed in the rear, so what i was thinking was mounting the plate directly to the bumper and them mounting a little plate light to the left or right of the plate or both i suppose. that way the light fixture(s) wont interfere with the tailgate or departure angle. your thoughts?

Yup folded over the ends. Took a soldering iron to the inside of the folds, in order to rout a channel (to make folding material thin). Then took a plastic welder (small heat gun) to the inside of the fold. I kept heating on until it folded pretty much under it's own weight.
I did all the welds from the inside. And only had to touch up the outside.
